Charles Wisseman, Mixed Media Artist

Recycled art is very hot right now .
These have broken bicycle chains magnetically attached to steel plate, with steel washers as eyes. The viewer is invited to manipulate the face to fit his daily mood.
One-sided version is a donation to Morgan Paper Conservatory fund-raiser .
Two-sided version with base (Janus-faced) is entered to try to get into in the Arrowmont "Touch" show in early 2016, where viewers are invited to handle art works. This piece is robust, but school children could find a way to destroy it; but I like the idea of people directly interacting with art (also what makes book arts attractive).
